I can see you laughing after you're gone and I'm alone Laughing at the things we lost, happy to have paid the cost And I can see you lonely, standing at the side of a freeway Waiting to catch a break, a ride that takes you all the way
The future is now In the eyes of my mind I want to be there somehow Don't want to leave you behind At the mercy of time Lord, have mercy
I can see you pregnant, sucking on a tall boy and a cigarette Oh, I want to be there, run my hands through your long hair And I can see me waiting after years of desperation Waiting on a platform for a train you won't be on
The future is now In the eyes of my mind I want to be there somehow Can't bear to leave you behind At the mercy of time Lord, have mercy Mercy on me
At the mercy of time Lord, have mercy Mercy of time Lord, have mercy Mercy of time Lord, have mercy Mercy of time
And you sail on, sail on your light Out there in the storm And I wait for, I pray for the light You left in my bones You left in my bones
